Seeing the entire process documented from design to construction for the first time is fantastic! It has given me a deeper understanding of fiber optic applications. Thanks for capturing this journey.
Cool. I always wondered how this stuff was installed. We just got a few spools of that orange tubing sitting at the end of our road. Was wondering what it was exactly. I guess that means fiber!
sketched me TF out when i saw the conduit bent and taped together to use as pull back.... why not use an innerduct puller and swivel? super soft terrain?
Anyone know what the average time frame is between the time when the initial underground conduit is buried until the fiber is available to the customers? One month? Three months? Longer?
I’d say within a year or two. Could be sooner just really depends on the contractor, contract stipulations, workload and area/ ground conditions. I’ve been lucky enough to be apart of a crew that finished 4 small towns for mainline and fiber/drop placement to all houses in about 9 months time. I’ve seen companies take several years to finish out projects in smaller cities. A lot of factors to account for but hope this gives you an idea even if it is the slightest
How for can you blow the fiber at a reasonably fast speed of at least 50m/min? We in Austria mostly blow 6-8mm cables in 14/10mm ducts at speeds of around 150m/min on the first 500m, 90m/min within 1km and after that around 40-50m/min. 1.8km is mostly the maximum we can achive in one go.
Depends on position. here in california entry wage is around $20/hr, well experienced foreman will most likely be high 30s/hr. fiber splicing is usually the money maker 40+/hr

Amazing how fast you can lay the conduit in open spaces.

Amazing. Love this. Well done Swift!
Great video folks. Thank you for that.
I like where the cable comes pooping out the end.

How much does one of those massive cable spools cost?
Well I looked at my conduit outside in the little hand hole and it looks like I'm awaiting my fiber to be spliced
That's quite the process
I should be sleeping. So satisfying to watch
Me too brother. I want to start a fiber isp so all my free time is now research on how to accomplish this massive undertaking.
Good job guys from the caribbean
Wow, amazing! What is the placement depth?
1.25m, 4.5', on average!
The locators in a couple years having to locate that line under that standing water : 👁️👄👁️
1:33
Shouldn't have any problem locating it going to be in conduit and if light is traveling through that line it can be traced
is that duct 40mm diamater?
Wow amazing.. Building backbone with easy..
Btw iam a backbone engineer ca i work with this good company?

Different terrain.
We can see it's a hard work job but you guys(5 persons) did only 66 km in one year?
How much do these guys make a year? Is it 6 figures?

What is name of this vechicles ?
Good job like job
WOW wow 😀😀😀😀😀!!!!!!
